HR Consulting for Healthcare and Life Sciences

Clinical staff recruitment and retention

RNs, PAs, MAs, and lab technicians are in perpetual short supply. Recruiting, compensation benchmarking, and retention strategy for clinical roles requires understanding the specific market dynamics and credentialing requirements.

Overtime and shift compliance

Non-exempt clinical staff working irregular schedules create significant wage and hour complexity. Shift differentials, on-call pay, and overtime calculations must be handled precisely to avoid back-pay liability.

HIPAA and employee record confidentiality

Employee health information (EHI) received in the HR context is subject to HIPAA protections distinct from standard employee records. HR practices that inadvertently expose protected health information create significant compliance exposure.

Credentialing and licensure tracking

Healthcare employers must track clinical staff licensure expiration dates, continuing education requirements, and credentialing status. Gaps in this infrastructure create regulatory and liability risk.

Clinical and administrative recruiting

Full-cycle recruiting for clinical and healthcare administrative roles. We understand credentialing requirements, compensation structures, and the competitive dynamics of clinical talent markets.

Wage and hour compliance for non-exempt staff

Shift differential design, overtime calculation review, and on-call pay structure to ensure compliance with the FLSA and applicable state wage and hour laws.

Healthcare HR policy architecture

Employee handbooks, HR policies, and documentation practices designed for healthcare settings, including HIPAA-compliant HR recordkeeping procedures.

Retention and engagement strategy

Data-driven retention strategies for clinical staff. Compensation benchmarking, stay interview programs, engagement initiatives, and management coaching to reduce the high cost of clinical turnover.

What does HIPAA mean for our HR records?

HIPAA protects Protected Health Information (PHI). In the HR context, this means employee health records you receive as part of FMLA, workers' comp, or ADA accommodation must be stored separately from general HR files and protected with appropriate access controls. We help healthcare employers design HR recordkeeping systems that comply.

We have high clinical staff turnover. Can you help?

Yes. Clinical turnover is one of the most expensive workforce challenges in healthcare. We assess the specific drivers of your turnover through data analysis and exit interviews, benchmark your compensation and benefits against market, and design retention initiatives that address root causes.

How do shift differentials and on-call pay work from a compliance standpoint?

Shift differentials and on-call pay must be factored into the regular rate of pay when calculating overtime for non-exempt employees. Many healthcare employers inadvertently underpay overtime by excluding these components from the overtime base. We audit your pay practices and correct any calculation errors before they become claims.
